Before the lists,
before the race,
Let quiet moments
Set the pace.
Not rushing in,
But stepping slow,
Prepare to greet
Dawn's soft, gold glow.
Breathe your thanks
For waking here,
For light that's drawing
Oh so near.
This choice to pause
And simply be
Will shape your hours
Like a bonsai tree
When morning unfolds
With gentle grace,
Calmness clears
A sacred space.
One quiet thought
Can change the scene
Today I can birth
A better dream.

A fit body, a calm mind,
and a house full of love.
These things cannot be
bought—they must
be earned.

If in our daily life
we can smile, if
we can be peaceful
and happy, not only
we, but everyone
will profit from it.
This is the most basic
kind of peace work.

Appreciate every moment
because this moment
is your precious life.
An appreciation of what
you have brings the
ultimate abundance
in your life.

Thanks for making me smile today. Pixie looks like she's smiling, too, but not nearly as broadly as a Cheshire cat. She has a wise guru smile.

Haven't seen a pink torch ginger before joining you on your morning walk. Lovely moon with its mirror. Linda in Kansas
